Case description

The fuller Marín, Pontevedra account describes a young couple walking along a beach on an afternoon in late June 1975. They reportedly watched three disc-shaped objects approach from the sea, pause roughly three metres above the sand and descend farther along the shore. This three-object version differs from the singular saucer in the compressed Hatch entry. According to the catalogue narrative, openings appeared in all three objects and small stairways extended to the ground. One figure emerged from each vehicle. The three figures walked on the beach, approached one another, then returned separately to their respective objects. The discs subsequently took off and departed at high speed. The witnesses were reportedly about 650 metres away, which limited the detail they could distinguish; the recovered account supplies no reliable facial anatomy, skin description or precise clothing. HUMCAT 1975-36 attributes the report to Ignacio Bienvenuty Cabral in Lumières dans la Nuit 174, and Rosales repeats that source chain. No traces were found at the supposed landing site. The case therefore remains a published distant encounter allegation rather than three independently documented landings. The plate keeps all three objects and figures together with the observing couple, while treating vehicle dimensions, human likenesses and the exact beach geometry as illustrative.

This is one report of three craft and three figures, not three independently documented landings. The roughly 650-metre distance limited detail; the witnesses could not see facial features. The attempted telepathic contact and subsequent headache are reported claims. No landing marks or footprints were found.
